Notes
Droncit notes:
intermittent static in right channel interpolated.
I Know You Rider: cut/splice (cut out blank spot)
Around And Around): dropout (cut out blank spot)
Wharf Rat discontinuity/splice (cut out blank spot)
The intermitten fade out of the left channel, (and sometimes the right channel, very rarely both channels), was evident for about 1/3 of set I and about 1/3 of set II. Luckily, most instances had music, but at a lower level than the rest of the recording. Some of these occurred every 2 seconds, some had much greater distances between them. I found as many of these as I could and used a curvilinear gain increase. I got most of these, but likely missed some. They will be more noticeable in headphones. Sometimes the music was so far down it was difficult to bring up, but most of the time these spots are no longer noticeable. In instances where the music was completely gone, I interpolated these as best I could. There were too many of these instances to document.
I then used several techniques to bring the presence back. This was recorded at a low level, or with a dirty head. I suspect the dirty head, or possibly a pinch roller with a piece of tape or oxide deposit that would lift the tape off the record head enough to cause the dropouts. Some hiss remains, especially between songs (no noise reduction was used).
I checked for speed issues and digital artifacts as referred to in SHNID 130728, but did not find any, but did hear them in 130728, so I used the original source. There are spots where the band is a bit out of tune. There is still some lack of clarity in the instruments, and a couple of spots where the bass distorts but it's the best I can do with it.

Ain’t a bed can give us rest..
I reviewed this ten years ago and in that time there are two upgrades. What I can say about the original is it needed an upgrade because listening in my
...
car it seemed like more Dead Air than music and I had to crank it up to ELEVEN. That said this is a sweet one nestled amid a whole tour of good music. First Set has a flawless list How often did they open with Big River the entire set jammed nicely Sure would like to have gotten a bouncy old school FOTD Or an interstellar PITB as Set closer Second set is deeply sublime They rock, promised Bertha greatest they chill , baby blue they get intense, cryptical-)other one-)wharf Rat Both Baby Blue and Cryptical are super rare in this time period. Rest of the show is a mix of first set regulars And set closer standards I kinda like this format because we get Biodtl, Ramble on Rose from a different perspective, I get why they eventually settled on drums and space every night with a balanced two sets plus an encore. It became like going to the theatre. And in the larger arena’s across the country The heads might be like herding cats but the band was show time at 7:30pm and lights on by 11pm Of course through the power of chemistry and with the help of G-d and a few friends a person could pack a lifetime into a show not to mention Shakedown Street. Overall this might not be the pinnacle of Fall 72 but any show on this run is Mountain Top to anything post 77 with a few exceptions. My final comments I need to direct toward the folks of Asheville North Carolina and vicinity. Hurricane Helene more or less missed my area in Sarasota, Fl although the immediate beach areas got tore up. I was really happy to have escaped this But the next day we started hearing and seeing about the damage in the mountains. I lived in Rutherfordton , N.C for a few years managing a health food store and delivering bread all over the Western Carolina region. It has been a while over Twenty years but I will never forget the time spent in Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, tubing in the French Broad. Some of the most kind and godly folks and also some of the most beautiful country on the entire East Coast. So, I am past the age where I can jump in and not be a burden. But anyone that could help Please do. We can share the women We can share the wine

what's up with them playing It's All Over Now, Baby Blue? Don't have a Deadbase, but it seems to me they hadn't played this in a while and wouldn't play

damaged recording of a decent show
I was hopeful that with the recent release of 9/24 on the 30 Trips set that this was a leaked leftover that didn't make the cut. Should have read the notes

first! So it's immediately obvious that this could never be released commercially. There's a type of hiss that is quite different from tape hiss - it seems to rise and fall with the volume of the music like a sort of distortion. There's also an unusual sort of distortion of the bass, where it sounds like it's been sent through a Boss Octave pedal. Clearly the original recording has suffered some serious damage, which is shame because it's yet another near-perfect 1972 show. I guess we can't have them all. So even though I won't be keeping this in my library it was nice to listen to on a hike today. Thanks for sharing!
